Major shopping area in the heart of Vienna. As in many cities, most of the stores here are expensive and pricey. However, it is fun to walk around, get the feel of this beautiful city and sit in one of the many coffee houses, pastry shops or restaurants.

This is probably the main tourist shopping area with branded showrooms, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops.
Mostly frequently by groups of tourists from the world over, Kaerntnerstrasse is a beautiful long road where you could spend a couple of hours. Most of the attractions are near and around this part of town.

Floodlight in the evening and at night. Wonderful Xmas illumination. Good view from the SkyCafe of Steffl department store. Gambling in Casino Wien. Must see.

Lots of shops, large or small, coffee shops, restaurants and nice structures or statues were found there. Really a paradise for visitors. The place was equally crowded even late at night and being a good experience to stroll down the streets while travelling...

It is a wide boulevard...

Please note - it's easy to create...

Neighbourhood Profile

Inner City

In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the centre. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.
